Hey count me in , hopefully at the 330 price. Hey, is there an option to have them in a powder coat? If not count me in. One more question, are the non powder coat clear coated in anything?

[maraudernkc]

They are out of black powdercoat and the billet are not clearcoated.

We now have 6 people.

We need only 4 more people for the $$$$$$$$$$$330.00 PRICE.

[O's Fan Rich]

Is this deal dead?

[B.C. Bake]

Well worst case at this time, we have 6 people so that makes it 360.00??????

Is anybody in for that?????

[maraudernkc]

We need four more people for the $330.00 price.

[B.C. Bake]

You would think there is four more people out there??? I can't wait to get thouse stock arms off....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bandit:

[2003_MM_FYRE49]

Are there four more members out there who want to put the Metco control arms on their vehicle? $330.00 is a good price, chime in if you want them.

[jjaguda]

At the risk of getting :flamer: 'd . . .

would these arms make a big difference on a stock MM? Would I need to up the sway bar size and/or put stiffer shock/spring on the rear to fully utulize the Metco's ability?

[CRUZTAKER]

What about a Watts Link group buy?
Ditto...we don't need no stinkin' control arms....;)

[DTR04]

Are there four more members out there who want to put the Metco control arms on their vehicle? $330.00 is a good price, chime in if you want them.Count me in. Three more to go.

[David Morton]

Count me in. Three more to go.Make that two.

Now what was that about the watts link? I'd hate to make this mod and find out there isn't a matching watts link.

But don't think I'll back out if there isn't. I'm sure Zack can weld up something sturdy for that if Metco doesn't have it.

[maraudernkc]

They have a watts link but we will make that a diffrent thread and offer or when you order you control arms talk to Aaron and see if he will give you a deal on the Watts link.

And then there were two needed!

[O's Fan Rich]

Should those of us who want to order get ahold of Metco directly? Or what?
I also wanted to get this thread out front again.

[SouLRioT]

If you guys can hold out till the end of the month, then I'll get in on this. I just don't have the funs right now.

[DEFYANT]

Here is my "problem".

Since the mods, when she changes gears, the rear tries to run around to the front. With these control arms fix this? Or is the Watts Link the better way to go. Or both?

[shakes_26]

Watts link is more for side to side, it can also help with axle wrap, depending on the design.

The control arms will keep the rear from gettin' jiggy back there, but its hard to believe your putting out that much power w/o a power adder to cause that.

You might have a loose/split bushing in the control arms. I'm no expert, but I'd stick my head under there and see if anything is loose/missing.

did that ever sound naughty;)

[DEFYANT]

Jiggy! That explains it! I dont think anything is loose, but I'll check, thanks.

[David Morton]

Here is my "problem".

... the rear tries to run around to the front.
Not clear what you are describing. Does it "dog track", i.e., is the axle pointing off in one direction, steering the rear end off to one side?

If it is, it could be a split bushing (ooh, that does sound nasty), or the flimsy stock arms could be allowing some rear steering. These Metco arms should fix that.

How's about a PM or update about when we can go ahead and order?

[sailsmen]

I will know by Monday the 14th.

[rich1765]

I'll take a set for the 330.00 price if still available. Do we order directly from metco?

[2003_MM_FYRE49]

We just need one more for the $330.00 deal...anyone, anyone, Buler, Buler...

My Metco arms arrived today!!!!!! Was wondering why the BBT (Big Brown Truck) was in the neighborhood! Might try to install them tomorrow. Thanks to Aaron @ Metco & maraudernkc for putting this together. :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[SouLRioT]

I got mine aswell last night, thanks again!

[fastblackmerc]

I got mine aswell last night, thanks again!
I installed my Metco control arms today. Was an easy install. Had two issues, the dreaded "can't get the rear wheels off" and the mounting ears on the axle where too close together, 3 or 4 wacks with a BFH and punch fixed that. Otherwise it was easy. Thanks to Dan for the installation instructions (if you search on Metco you'll find them) and thanks to DTR04 & Petrograde for the torque specs. BTW the specs are 69ft lbs for the upper control arm to axle bolts (2 per side) and 111ft lbs for the other 6 bolts (3 per side).

[55montclair]

I'm in for the $330 price. Thanks for your efforts.
